BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER AND THE HOLY GRAIL
PART 4
In our last episode, our heroes slayed, maimed, killed, pillaged, plundered, ("GET ON WITH IT!!) Sorry, they defended themselves
well against the Master’s villainous threat. Then morning came, time to return to their quest to find the Grail and
prevent the return of the Master, and with him, the end of the world. We return to our crusaders, who are now on foot, having
eaten their coconuts. It is Lady Willow and Lady Cordelia’s turn to pull Sir Angel’s box.
_____________________________________________________________________
Lady Cordelia, the Self-Involved: "What do I have to do to get a date with this guy?"
Lady Willow, the Pure: "Huh. Did you say something?"
Lady Cordelia: "What...to you? Why couldn’t they put wheels on this thing?"
Lady Willow: "You want to make some, I’ll be happy to put them on."
Lady Cordelia: "Ha, ha. Aren’t you the funny one today."
Sir Giles, the Wise: "Ladies, quiet! We have reached the Forest of Ewing."
Lady Buffy, the Vampire Slayer: "Gee, wow. Big forest, real scary. Aren’t I just shaking."
Sir Robin, the Not so Brave: "You, too?"
Lady Buffy looks at Sir Robin, then back at Sir Giles: "OK, we’re here, now what?"
Sir Giles: "We discussed this before. Do you purposely ignore everything I say?"
Lady Willow: We go to the middle of the forest, then we split up."
Sir Giles: "Thank you, Lady Willow. Alas, there’s still hope for the world."
Sir Robin: "You do know that no man has crossed the forest and lived to tell the tale. Can’t we just go around the
forest?"
Lady Buffy: "No, we don’t have the time. Besides, what’s in a forest but a bunch of trees. No big deal."
Sir Lancelot, the Brave: "Fear not! I’ll lead the way. Sir Robin, Sir Giles, grab Sir Angel. Lets ride!" He takes
off.
Xander, King of the Cretins: "And they let him carry a sword?"
So off they ride, on foot, to the center of the forest. Once there they find a small clearing
with three paths leading out of it.
Sir Giles: "Here it is. We must now divide our numbers to speed our search."
Lady Buffy: "How did you decide on the groups again?"
Sir Giles, with a sigh: "I want you to travel the left path with Sir Robin and Lady Cordelia."
Lady Cordelia: "Great, I’m stuck on the Loony Squad."
Sir Giles: "They need your protection. Lady Willow and I will travel with Sir Lancelot down the center passage."
King Xander: "He needs your brains."
Sir Giles: "Not quite how I would have phrased that."
King Xander: "So, that leaves me with Sir Angel?"
Lady Buffy: "Are you sure that’s a good idea?"
Sir Giles: "King Xander can take care of himself during the day. Sir Angel will protect him at night."
Lady Willow: "If he survives the trip." Everyone looks at King Xander.
King Xander: "What?"
Our crusaders then split off to find their particular idioms.
Lady Willow: "I hope Xander will be OK."
Sir Giles: "He’ll be fine."
------------------------------
Lady Buffy: "I hope Angel will be OK."
Sir Robin: "He’ll be fine, that’s a strong box."

Will they ever find the Grail? Will Sir Angel survive a day with King Xander? Will Sir Giles
and Lady Willow survive a day with Sir Lancelot? Can Lady Buffy and Lady Cordelia get along? These questions and more will
be ignored next week. Same Buffy Channel, Different Buffy Time.
